Instead of dropping $70 for a fender eliminator, I decided to take on the project myself. All it cost me was a $6 piece of sheet metal, and a few hours in the garage.

I decided to keep the license plate light, just to keep the local law enforcement happy.

First I measured everything up and made a drawing, then cut it out of cardboard for test fitment, then traced it onto the sheet metal. I cut it out using a Dremmel, filed it down, sanded it, and painted it. I'm happy with the results, and I think it turned out really clean. Sorry the photos aren't better...

Very nice! What are you doing about turn signals though? Integrated tail light?

That's a nice job of it. Probably wouldn't have been too hard to work turn signal mounts into the mix. Now y'all are givin' me ideas.
